For first-time homebuyers or renters, factors such as safety, amenities, and community dynamics can significantly impact their quality of life. Existing information sources often fall short in providing a comprehensive and up-to-date overview of these critical factors.

Census 2021 analysis

Description of Use To gain a comprehensive understanding of Victoria's demographic distribution, we leveraged the interactive population map. This insight played a crucial role in shaping the direction of our project.

Data Set

Rental Report - Quarterly: Quarterly Median Rents by LGA

Description of Use The Rental Report data offers valuable insights into Victoria's housing market, empowering users to make informed rental decisions. Our app features interactive visualizations that illustrate trends in moving quarterly median rents for both metro and non-metro areas.

Data Set

Victorian Government School Zones 2025

Description of Use The school zone dataset we have incorporated plays a crucial role in empowering users to make informed decisions about their residential choices. Here's how: 1) By analyzing the school zone data, our app can provide users with a clear picture of the distribution of schools across various suburbs. This information helps users identify areas with a high concentration of schools, particularly desirable for families with children. 2) The insight into school zones directly translates to a valuable tool for families looking to buy or rent a house. They can prioritize suburbs with schools that cater to their children's needs and learning styles.
